Daimler Truck focuses on growth in the defence sector
London, January 28, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Daimler Truck follows a clear growth strategy in the development, production and sales of military commercial vehicles for logistics applications. With the introduction of new vehicle variants and the further qualification of the existing sales and service network, Daimler Truck wants to respond even faster and with a broader range to customer requirements from the defence sector. In addition, the increased manufacturing competence as well as the expansion of partnerships regarding new technologies, development projects and sales should lead to offering the right portfolio for users.
Within Daimler Truck, the business unit Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks is responsible for the defence segment, as well as for the fire fighting, disaster relief and civil protection segments. At the production plants in Wörth am Rhein and Molsheim (France), Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks conducts its own research and development, implements individual customer requests and produces high volumes for large orders.
From the extreme off-road Unimog and Zetros to the Atego, Actros and Arocs truck model series and heavy-duty tractor units – Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks offers a wide range of complete vehicles in various variants from Euro III to Euro VI and can also implement special equipment on request. Only recently, Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks has invested in the further development of the Zetros model series and can now offer all variants from two-axle 4×4 to four-axle 8×8, with or without protected cab, with single or twin tires and in various emissions standards. The manufacturer also sells the Unimog-based FGA chassis for protected bodies and supplies so-called CKD vehicle component sets with which the vehicles can be built independently at local production sites in the customer’s country.
Daimler Truck has been rooted in the African, Arab and Asian regions for decades with its dealer and service network and works closely with local partners and bodybuilders. With the “Middle East/Africa” Regional Center in Dubai, the manufacturer offers long-term customer proximity and fast and uncomplicated vehicle and spare parts availability.
